According to the outlet, while Kendall and reported boyfriend Ben Simmons were having lunch on an outdoor patio at the Beverly Glen Deli, the dog, who was on a harness, allegedly "nipped" a child. The dog apparently didn’t puncture any skin, though the report added, “the deli’s staff simply administered ice from inside for [the child's] injury.”

TMZ initially reported that when the child's mother returned to “confront” Kendall and Ben, “they’d already paid their bill and vanished.” LAPD was also reportedly called, and police then referred the incident to Animal Control, TMZ wrote. An anonymous source later told the site that Kendall didn't leave until making certain her dog didn't bite the child, and that the "startled" dog and the child never made actual contact.

Two months ago, Kendall posted an Instagram with her new pet, captioning it, “She cute but she’ll rip your face off.” Fans are now flooding the photo to discuss the alleged incident, urging Kendall to apologize for the incident. “Do NOT go to a restaurant with your dog and then leave when it bites a kid.” said another Insta commenter. “So I hear Kendall Jenner’s dog bite a little toddler out in public and Kendall fled the scene?” wrote a Twitter user. “That’s so not being a responsible dog owner.”

Others also discussed the dog potentially going to be professionally trained. “Please take your Doberman to training,” wrote one commenter on Instagram. “I’m sure this could be blown out of proportion BUT to prove the haters wrong and to prove this breed is so loving, which I know since I have one, please try making her an AKC Canine Good Citizen and get her obedience impeccable! It will save your dog from being ripped apart by the tabloids.” Several more commenters came to the breed’s defense. “Please, please, please don't encourage or glorify this behavior. It only makes people fear a naturally sweet breed,” wrote @dfwcaninesforveterans.

Kendall herself also responded to the barrage of social media responses about the incident. In response to a tweet that called her "despicable," Kendall wrote, "Oof i’m sorry you feel that way. hope to meet you one day to show you the real me, maybe i’ll tell you a little bit about the story too. God bless 🙏🏼."
